We were very excited to welcome back nine Health Studies graduates to participate in our fall career event, a round table discussion, What to do After Graduation?!  Nearly 80 majors attended the event that was held in the new URI Welcome Center from 6:15-8:00 PM on October 30.  

The evening was filled with conversations between the URI graduates and undergraduates about making the most out of time at URI, including conducting faculty-mentored research and completing an internship, applying for jobs and graduate school, and being a graduate student.
